Not 5 But 276.

The Reveille in its last issue published
list of the appointments made by Gen.
Nichols of 33 names, of which it points
in capital letters to the names of three
creoles in the list. This is published in
order to blind the ignorant people, rs
the Reveille well knows that Gen. Nj
cholls made more than 33 appointments
while Governor, and why did it not pub
lish the whole.list of his appointments? !?
Because he would have found that 216
creoles were appointed by Gen. Nichols
and not as published by the Reveille.
and its editor knew he was not telling
honestly the truth, or he must have been
dreaming.
We regret not having the space to pub
lish the names of all the creoles appOin-
ted by Gen. Nichols, but we have them
in our office, and will show them to any
of the McEnery men. We will if neces-
sary publish them when we get our large
press but in the mean time we will men

That Dodge.

The Reveille said in its last issue that
the Nichols men lodged when one of
their speakers asked them what reform
was wanted. The editor Of the Reveile
must have been In the dreamland of
"DiXie" or out of his senses when he saw
any lodging. The Nicholists who were
there. were invited to attend that meet
ing and went there by mere curiosity and
to hear the good music, and not to argue
any point with their speakers.
The speaker did not know 10 what be
hpd exposed himself, we did not answer
his question because we had stated pre-
viOusly that we did not propose to abuse
and vilify the administration, but if our
friends persist and insist, and by their
repeated questions force us to answer we
will let them know great many things
that they seem to ignore, but which is
yet fresh in our memory, and which will
not be very pleasant for them to hear.
Now friend Reveille, unless you put a
little water in yours and close up, we
will cease to put water in ours, and take
it straight. and open on your candidate
and the administration.

We had last Saturday call from that
amiable and courteous gentlemen, Mr..
y. w. GoOdale, the travelling cor
respondent of that enterprising journal,
the New Iberia Enterprise. We were
pleased to learn that he had made
Il good number of subcribers in this par
ish. The Enterprise will be an appre-
ciated visitor to its new subscribers.
Where are you going Jack? why. at
b. Audibert's for Il glass of that nice
beer,
The Reveille arrived in our Office last
Saturday in an unconscious condition.
The charitable feelings of this editor
were touched at seeing the sufferings of
our unfortunate friend, we attended to
the Reveille cautiously. gave it a dose of
soothing syrup, and with the help of a
stomach pump succeeded in relieving the
unfortunate Reveille of the over load of
the indigestible McEnery stuff which its
cruel editor had forced into its body.
We issue to-day large number of
sample copies of the Messenger, those
receiving them, who do not wish to be-
come subscribers, will please return same
and mark them refused
We received our new press yesterday
and will shortly issue five column pa
per. We will also solicit advertisements
and subscriptions.
The Nichols Club have imported a
genuine ''RefOrmer" to give an explana-
ton to the Reveille and that speaker
who wants to know what Reform is
wanted, and we tender them a special
invitation to attend, and argue any point
they wish with our ''Reformer.'
Our ''ReforEl" is good natured gen.
tleman, and will take the greatest pleas
ure in answering any question of our
friends of the McEnery faith.
But we know their game, they are on
the bluff, while we have full hand. they
raise, we back. and of course they pass.
We believe the attendance of the Nc
Emery people will be slim at our meet
ing. they don't care about hearing the
truth.
B. Audibert is the champion, he keeps
the incest and coolest beer.
